Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine with a projector display for projecting an image on a screen arranged on the play board surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a pachinko machine, a machine provided with an electric accessory at the center of a game board is widely used. Such an electric accessory is usually equipped with a display device for displaying a design or a number.

Conventionally, an indicator used in this way is C
A cover member that is composed of RT or LED and surrounds the periphery of the display is projected in the pachinko ball passage area between the playing board surface and the front cover glass, and the pachinko ball passes across the front part of the display. It is configured not to do.

In the above-mentioned display, if the display is enlarged to display a large pattern or a large number,
A large display occupies the center of the play board. For this reason, the pachinko ball must bypass the large indicator,
The pachinko ball passes through a narrow space between both sides of the game board and both sides of the large display device, and the pachinko ball rarely goes to the area below the large display device in the game device. Therefore, even if a prize hole is provided below a large display on the game board, there is almost no possibility that a pachinko ball will win the prize opening below this display. Further, the range in which the pachinko ball floats and falls on the play board is extremely narrowed, and the motion of the pachinko ball dropping on the play board becomes monotonous, which may impair playability.

[0005]

In consideration of the above facts, the present invention does not limit the dropping motion of the pachinko ball even if the play board is provided with an indicator, and the pachinko ball is rich in variety over the entire play board. It is possible to do a drop operation,
The purpose is to make the display device larger and improve the playability of the pachinko machine as a whole.

[0006]

A pachinko machine with a projector display according to the present invention is provided so as to cross a projector arranged on a game board, a screen arranged on the optical path of the projector, and the optical path of the projector. And a passage for passing a pachinko ball.

[0007]

With the above-described structure, the pachinko ball that falls on the play board while playing with the pachinko machine passes behind the projection screen and is wide variety over the entire board surface of the play board. The dropping operation can be performed.
For this reason, the pachinko ball goes to the bottom of the projection screen of the projector display sufficiently, so even if the projection screen of the projector display is made large and a prize hole is provided directly below it, the pachinko ball is won in this prize hole. The probability of doing it can be the same as other parts of the game board.

Further, the shadow of a pachinko ball passing through the back side of the projection screen can be projected on the projection screen to change the mapping.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of a pachinko machine with a projector display according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Projector display 1 according to the first embodiment
0 is a game board 1 in the pachinko machine body 12 shown in FIG.
4 is arranged in the central part. The projector display 10 is
A projection screen 16 having a flat plate rectangular shape is provided on the front surface thereof. As shown in FIG. 1, the projection screen 16 is a front cover glass 1 attached to a pachinko machine body 12.
8 is arranged adjacent to the back surface. That is, the support pin 24 is provided at each of the four corners of the flange 22 at the front opening of the display cover member 20 provided on the game board 14.
Are erected, and the free ends of the support pins 24 are fixed to the four corners of the corresponding projection screen 16.
Are supported by the pillar pins 24 and arranged at a position adjacent to the front cover glass 18.

The front opening of the display cover member 20 is closed by a transparent guard panel 21. The outer surface of the guard panel is flush with the outer surface of the flange portion 22. Further, the length of the support pin 24 is made sufficiently longer than the diameter of the pachinko ball 26 so that the space between the flange portion 22 and the guard panel 21 on the surface of the play board 14 and the projection screen 16 is seen from all directions on the play board 14. The sphere 26 is configured so that it can pass freely.

The display cover member 20 of the projector display 10 is formed in a bent box shape so as to set a bent optical path, as illustrated in FIG. The first reflecting mirror 3 is provided on the predetermined first slope portion 28 of the display cover member 20.
0 is arranged, and the second reflecting mirror 34 is arranged on the second slope portion 32. Further, the liquid crystal projector 36 is installed in the housing portion 20A on the side opposite to the front opening of the display cover member 20 (right side in FIG. 1) to configure the projector display 10.

The liquid crystal projector 36 includes a lens group 40,
It is composed of a liquid crystal panel 42, a light source 44, and a cooling fan 46. In addition to the liquid crystal projector 36, various projectors such as a slide projector may be used.

In the projector display 10 thus constructed, the light rays projected from the liquid crystal projector 36 are
The light is reflected by the first reflecting mirror 30, the second reflecting mirror 34, and an image is formed on the projection screen 16. By thus reflecting the light by the first reflecting mirror 30 and the second reflecting mirror 34 and lengthening the optical path, a greatly magnified image is projected on the projection screen 16 without distortion. Further, since the projection screen 16 is located on the front cover glass 18 side, the optical path can be made longer than that of the conventional structure in which the projection screen is provided on the surface of the game board 14, and the magnification of the image can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, when the pachinko ball 26 passes behind the projection screen 16 of the projector display 10, the liquid crystal projector 36 is provided.
The pachinko ball 26 crosses the optical path of the light beam emitted from the. Therefore, the shadow of the pachinko ball 26 is projected so as to cross the projection screen 16.

At this time, the shadow of the pachinko ball 26 is projected on the image projected on the projection screen 16 so as to have some meaning so that the image is changed and the game of the pachinko machine is performed. It is possible to improve the sex.

Further, since the pachinko ball 26 can freely pass through the back side of the projection screen 16, the pachinko ball 26
Can freely move around on the game board 14 without being disturbed by the projector display 10, and can make various drop operations to improve playability.

Further, by displaying a large and powerful image on the large projection screen 16 of the projector display 10, it is possible to increase the player's interest in the game.

Further, by attaching a transparent fluororesin or the like to the surface of the projection screen 16 in contact with the pachinko balls 26 by means of coating or the like, it is possible to prevent the pachinko balls 26 from becoming dirty on the projection screen 16.

The support pin 24 for supporting the projection screen 16 may be installed not only on the flange portion 22 but also on a desired position on the play board 14. Alternatively, it goes without saying that the projection screen 16 may be arranged by various means such as adhering it to a required position on the front cover glass 18.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, a passage 38 is provided to bypass the upper part of the projector display 10 on the play board 14 to the lower part. For this reason, a guide member 40 whose tip is extended like an eaves is provided at a portion of the game board 14 immediately above the projector display 10. As shown in the drawing, the guide member 40 is inclined so as to descend toward the play board 14 side, and is configured to guide the pachinko ball 26 dropped on the guide member 40 into the passage 38.

The passage 38 is formed so as to descend from the surface of the play board 14 toward the back side as shown in FIG.
Is formed so as to be bent on the back side of the display panel, traverse the inside of the display cover member 20, and open to the front side of the game board 14. A portion of the passage 38 that crosses the cover member 20 is formed by a guide swash plate 38A formed of a transparent member.
When the pachinko ball 26 passes over, this guide swash plate 38A
In the upper part of the screen, the pachinko ball 26 is projected onto the projection screen 1.
Since it passes through a position far from 6, the shadow of the pachinko ball 26 crossing the optical path is enlarged and projected on the projection screen 16, and the enlargement ratio is reduced as the guide swash plate 38A is moved downward. Is configured to.

In the second embodiment, the pachinko ball 26
Does not have the guard panel 21 because it passes over the guide swash plate 38A. Further, the configuration, operation, and effect of the second embodiment other than those described above are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, so the same reference numerals will be given and the description thereof will be omitted.
